If AMS did a better job yesterday, it is mainly, as Stijn says, because of capacity. They proactively canceled a lot of flights, allowing.better handling of those remaining. Another valid point indeed. Apparently BRU didn't 'close' officially (can anyone confirm?). As a result quite a lot of short-...

I have to agree with what is said above: snow clearing is a core job of the airport operator, yet one that requires significant investments which are probably not worth it from an economical point of view at our latitudes. You made a valid point indeed. These kind of investments require plenty of c...

I don't blame the snow fighters, I blame their management, not just here in BRU, but in all the major airports that think they don't need good and enough snow equipment as it only happens once a year... They make enough money to guarantee the premium service they promise and get paid for. I partial...

As mentioned in the article, the list features 'some' of the special liveries that visit Brussels Airport on a daily basis. A full list of all special liveries would take at least ten more aircraft, but could be outdated much faster. Anyway, plans are to update this post next year or make a 'Part II...

Reminds me of the welcome flight I joined in January 2017 (see https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/air-f ... me-flight/).

Building 32 and Hangar 41 were definitely affected.

Power was restored about 10 minutes later.

As said, you win some, you lose some. Didn't really mind, as weather conditions were very poor by the way.

And today I got Hekla Aurora in sunny conditions again, so that's an upside

When a commercial airliner is flying with passengers, the aim must be zero risk. This fly-by had a risk that is bigger then 0 on a scale 0-10, hence it was unsafe. Hi, Please allow me to comment on this: 1. There no such thing as 'zero risk'. 2. Following your logic, every single commercial flight ...
